They also keep the room warm by making it more humid therefore your room stays warm as you work. However always remember to clean your humidifier regularly as it can release air that is also dusty which you are likely to breathe in.
Add family photo frames
Although it is your work space, having one or two family photos wouldn’t hurt. It can actually help and motivate you when you look at the photos of those who love and depend on you. Sometimes work can be overwhelming and you need a little pick me up to get going and what better way to do this than with a cute family photo. Also a cute family photo will add some modern touch to your working space.
Scented candles
The cozier the room the easier it will be for you to work. Scented candles burn slowly and leave your room smelling fresh and calm. Candles have a way of making a room feel and look peaceful. To make your office area look even more modern you can put your candles in glass vases to make them look more attractive and to date.
